Bathroom remodels are an exciting and rewarding experience that add to the overall personality of your home. As the centerpiece of the room, the stand-alone tub will play an important role in the overall ambiance. A large part of this decision (and half the fun) is deciding which style of tub is right for you. In this article we will discuss the characteristics of each before highlighting their unique attributes.
